Plants for vertical gardening in the apartment
Vertical gardening is a way to decorate the interior of an apartment. With the help of living plants, you can create not only beautiful compositions, but also improve the indoor microclimate.
Examples of vertical gardening in an apartment
The essence of vertical gardening is to create indoor hedges. They decorate the walls with plants or build special racks. Thanks to the built structures, you can save space on the floor and window sills. Violets, Episcines and Abutilones can be grown on the shelves.
Vertical gardening is used indoors and outdoors
Plants moisturize the air and saturate it with oxygen, and also:
- create a shade, prevent the penetration of sunlight into the room;
- absorb noise;
- retain dust;
- hide the unevenness of the walls.
Landscaping can be used for zoning space in an apartment. Vertical flower beds, green partitions and columns are a green screen that divides the room into sections.
What plants are suitable for vertical gardening
If you do not have experience in this type of room decoration, choose plants that are unpretentious to care for. For vertical gardening, flowers with a developed root system, a curly short stem and a predisposition to tillering are needed. The following indoor plants are suitable:
- хоии;
- scindapus;
- decorative types of grapes;
- spathiphyllum;
- chlorophytums;
- eschinantus;
- dyschidia;
- aglaonema.
Ampelous plants, sansivieres and succulents look good. They also do not require frequent watering. Climbing plants can replace curtains on windows. They can be grown in hanging planters, which should be hung along the eaves. Look for plants that need strong lighting.
In the kitchen, you can create a vertical arrangement of herbs such as basil, lettuce, dill and parsley
When landscaping a wall, select plants according to the size, color and texture of the leaves. Choose bushy flowers without a trunk. Tillandsia, vriezia and guzmania are suitable. They are distinguished by long flowering. Give preference to shade-tolerant flowers. Living carpet on the wall looks stylish.
Provide sufficient lighting for light-loving plants. Place point lights along the wall, on the ceiling, or use fluorescent lights.
When creating complex compositions, involve professional floral designers in your landscaping. They equip living walls with automatic irrigation systems.
